“Hudson and Nash stayed afloat until the company killed off the names, replacing those badges with the AMC label.”

They aren’t bad cars. They were let down when new by bad dealer service and lousy parts supply, and being “different”. in an era when you couldn’t just Google when something weird happened. They definitely liked to rust, but certainly no worse than Japanese cars of the era. And of course *nobody* with a brain in their…

So $4500 is the new $3000 as far as fuggit money and car purchases right? This thing is nice enough to run to cars and coffee, cheap enough you could run errands in it and not worry about the occasional scuff, and Mon dieu is it quirky and French.  Easy nice price, and I would use it to run and get Le coffee and Le…

This was actually pioneer and quite a good car in some aspects.

Hayao Miyazaki drives one to his studio everyday in 2CV.

I was ready to go ND until the part about it being one of the cheapest examples for sale here. Well then, it does look pretty nice. If you really want one and everything checks out, NP I guess.

Their wee wee is very small so when they see very small cars it reminds them of how small their wee wee is and they get really scared and go into a tiny wee wee rage. That’s why they have to always drive a gargantuan vehicle everywhere so they aren’t reminded of their other inadequacies.

What about it offends you and what the fuck do you care what someone else is driving?

Pretty much any law crafted to appease the media masses is a bad law. Pretty much every law named after dead kids for instance.

Yes, all. There should be no place for that kind of inflexibility in a justice system.

Yeah, but there is a reason that Lady Justice carries scales as well as a sword. You’re supposed to be punished on the fuck up and causes, not the emotions provoked by it. He fucked up. There is no doubt he should have had better judgement, but his fuck up was thinking his brakes had more left in them than they did.…

... and this is why the “tough on crime” mandatory minimum sentences (which always seem to end up equalling “life in prison”, somehow) are simply bad public policy.

Mandatory minimum laws are obscene in all instances.

There was more to the Palio than the weird looks. I had one a while ago, the hatchback version. Not a luxury product by any means, but it was light, sturdy and fun to drive. Fiat was serious about becoming a global company, and had built a car upt to the task.

All of this. Garbage suggestions by garbage people.

How can you drag Herbie into this? At no point did they actually imply a 1600cc VW Beetle could actually compete in reality. In fact, one of the major plot lines of the first movie is how it makes no sense that Herbie is competitive.

ah, the resident purveyor of tiny cars speaks up ;)

Agreed. It is not a car movie. Damn good, Friedkin as director, Hackman and Scheider as cops

This entire list is an atrocity and the people who made the suggestions should be ashamed of themselves. This is the community this site fosters? Fuck me, what a pile of dogshit

The French Connection belongs nowhere on a list of movies that include some of this drek.
